San Francisco
Love Shack, Rock Lobster, Private Idaho, Summer of Love, Mesopotamia... The B-52's list of hit singles are indelibly stuck to American culture and musical history. Their songs have been butchered countless times by fun-loving, drunk karaoke artists, each person trying to relive the energetic fire that bellows from the band's outsider pop. Once a five-piece but now a quartet due to the tragic AIDS-related death of guitarist Ricky Wilson, The B-52's are still holding their place in the canon of great American bands as they continue to perform live to the thousands of adoring fans still looking for that little ol' place where they can get together.
